This chapter describes how to connect your system to multiple points.For multipoint connection, installation of the optional PCSA-MCG80 HD MCU software is required.When connecting via a LAN, multipoint connection among up to 10 points including your site is available. When connecting via an ISDN, multipoint connection among up to six points including your site is available, and a phone can be used at up to five points among six.A multipoint connection using LAN and ISDN mixed is also available.

Restrictions on the use of the MCU software• When a multipoint connection is made via LAN, you can set up the total

communication bit rate for all the connecting points with “Total Bandwidth” in the Communication setup menu. As the communication bit rate for each point is automatically adjusted so as not to exceed the value selected in “Total Bandwidth”, actual bit rate per point may differ from that selected for that point.

• When a multipoint connection is made via an ISDN, the same number of channels should be used on all the points and the total channels must not exceed 12B.

• The H.264, H.263+ and H.261 video modes are supported.• The G.711, G.722, G.728 and MPEG4 AAC audio modes are supported.• A multipoint connection including a SIP connection is not available.• Only the PCS-XG80/XG80S is enabled for use as a main terminal for the

cascade connection.• When the local system is used as the main terminal and connected with

remote terminals other than the PCS-XG80/XG80S, the maximum bandwidth to be used is restricted to 4 MHz.

Installing the optional PCSA-MCG80 HD MCU software in an HD Visual Communication System allows you to connect to multiple systems up to six by using the optional PCSA-B768S, or up to four by using the optional PCSA-B384S ISDN Unit.

Notes on the number of ISDN lines used and number of remote parties for a multipoint connectionYou can select the number of ISDN channels to be used for the remote point connected first using “ISDN Bandwidth” on the ISDN: Mode page of the Communication setup menu (page 68).However, if the number of remote points connected increases as a result ofdialing from the main terminal, some of the channels used for the first pointwill be cut off and used for newly connected points instead. For example,if you use six ISDN lines (up to 12B channels available), 12B channels will beused for the first remote point only when no other points are connected. Whenthe system connects to a second point, the number of channels for the firstpoint decreases, and 6B channels will be used for both the first and secondpoints.Even if one of the remote points in a multipoint connection is disconnected, thenumber of channels used for the remaining points will not increase.

Start Meeting: Starts communication with remote parties connected.Disconnect All: Cancels all the connections and restores the Home menu.Redial: Redials the numbers of the points that you failed to connect.

Note on multipoint videoconferences using ISDN

If the number of remote points connected increases as a result of dialing from the main terminal while making a multipoint connection using ISDN, some of the channels that have been used for connection will be cut off and used for the newly connected points instead. For example, if you use six ISDN lines (up to 12B channels available), 12B channels will be used for the first remote point only when no other points are connected. When the system connects to a second point, the number of channels for the first point decreases, and 6B channels will be used for both the first and second points.Even if one of the remote points in a multipoint connection is disconnected, the number of channels used for the remaining points will not increase.

Operations are the same as those for a point-to-point connection.

For details, see “Receiving a Call from a Remote Party” on page 117.

Notes on Secondary Terminals

If there is a terminal that is not adequate for the settings set by this system, that terminal is called a secondary terminal.Communication capabilities between secondary terminal and this system are shown below.• Transmitting/receiving audio• Receiving video from a secondary

terminal• Disables transmission of video to a

secondary terminal

For details on secondary terminals, see “Glossary” on page 250.

When a normal phone is connectedThe audio mode of the Visual Communication Systems is not affected if a normal phone is connected or disconnected at any time.

When a 56K network is mixed among the terminals if the connection is made via a 64K networkThe connection automatically changes to that via the 56 K network. Terminals that cannot change to that network are regarded as secondary terminals, and the transmission of video is not available, although transmission/reception of audio and reception of video are available.

When a terminal with different audio mode is connected and its video bit rate is differentThe connection is made in the audio mode of the terminal with the lowest video bit rate. Any terminal that cannot conform to the audio mode is regarded as a secondary terminal, and the transmission of video is not available, although transmission/reception of audio and reception of video are available.

Consult with the system administrator so that the packet for Communication becomes acceptable under your LAN environment.

The remote terminal is not turned on.

Ask the remote party to turn on the terminal.

It takes a long time for the remote party to be able to answer from the standby mode.

Ask the remote party to cancel the standby mode.

The remote party is in communication with another party.

Call the remote party after they end the communication with another party.

Answering the call is not permitted by the remote terminal as it is operating for setups, etc.

Ask the remote party to permit answering a call.

The remote terminal is not set to auto answer mode.

Ask the remote party to set the terminal to auto answer mode, or to answer a call manually.

The ISDN telephone numbers are not set up in the remote terminal (when using bonding).

Ask the remote party to set up “Area Code” and “Local Number” in the ISDN Setup menu correctly (page 79).

The eighth digit and up of the ISDN telephone numbers are not the same when connecting using bonding (when the remote party uses the communication system of an older model such as the PCS-1600).

Connect without using bonding, or use the ISDN telephone numbers that are the same in the eighth digit and up.

There is some problem with the remote terminal.

Try to dial the number of another terminal.

A message appears on the screen. See “On-Screen Messages” (page 231).


235Troubleshooting

Still pictures or the Phone Book cannot be saved to the “Memory Stick.”

Meeting Room Layout

Be sure to position camera and microphone appropriately in your meeting room.

Camera Range represents the shooting area of the

camera when the zoom has been extended fully. indicates the shooting area of the camera when the angling function is fully utilized. Use the measurements below as a guide for the layout of your meeting room.

Top view (horizontal range at maximum zoom-out)

Lighting ConsiderationsDo not point the camera toward a window where sunlight comes in as back lighting may decrease the contrast. If it is necessary, cover the window with a thick curtain.

Adjust room lighting so that it falls on the participants. Avoid direct light on the TV monitor. Light intensity on faces should be about 300 lux or more.

Phenomena Specific to CMOS Image Sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

White flecksAlthough the CMOS image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc.This is related to the principle of CMOS image sensors and is not a malfunction.

The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:• when operating at a high environmental

temperature• when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)

This phenomenon may be improved when you turn the power of the System off and on.

AliasingWhen fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or flicker.

Glossary

ARCAn abbreviation for Adaptive Rate Control. Technology which automatically lowers a video streaming bitrate against network congestion.

ARQAn abbreviation for Automatic Repeat reQuest. Error control method in which the receiver requests a retransmission from the transmitter when a packet loss occurs.

Auto Bandwidth DetectionDetects the network bandwidth and others before communication. By using this value for the QoS function, optimum QoS control is available from the beginning of the communication.

Bonding*Bonding is one of the Inverse Multiplexing methods allowing the connection of the communication system with multiple ISDN lines. Dialing the first ISDN line enables you to connect all other lines. Dialing the second and later lines is done automatically by the communication between the communication systems on both sites. To use bonding, it is required that both communication systems be equipped with the bonding function and that “Area Code” and “Local Number” in the ISDN Setup menu of the answering site be set correctly. As the communication between the systems when using the bonding function is made via the ISDN numbers of the answering site, the “Area Code” and “Local Number” settings in the ISDN Setup menu are not essential at the dialing site.

* Bonding (Bandwidth on Demand Interoperability Group) is a registered trademark of THE BONDING CONSORTIUM.

BRIAn abbreviation for Basic Rate Interface. Basic interface standardized by the ITU-T. Single ISDN has two B channels and one D channel.

CodecAn abbreviation for Coder-Decoder. An integrated device of a coder that converts an analog audio/video signal to a digital data stream and compresses it, and a decoder for expanding to restore the original analog signal.

DHCPAn abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Manages IP addresses in the network.

DNSAn abbreviation for Domain Name System. Defines the domain name system.

Echo CancellerDevice to eliminate echo that occurs when transmitting audio.

FECAn abbreviation for Forward Error Correction. Error control method in which the receiver can correct errors without requesting a retransmission from the transmitter.

Frame rateThe number of frames which can be encoded/decoded in one second.

G.711Audio encoding/decoding format recommended by the ITU-T. A phone bandwidth audio signal is converted to a digital signal with a data rate of 64 Kbps. It can be transmitted with a data rate of 56 Kbps.

G.722Audio encoding/decoding format recommended by the ITU-T. A 7-kHz bandwidth audio signal is converted to a digital signal with a data rate of 48 Kbps, 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps.

G.728Audio encoding/decoding format recommended by the ITU-T. A phone bandwidth audio signal is converted to a digital signal with a data rate of 16 Kbps.
